This was a solid YA - note about that in a bit - paranormal thriller with some horror and romance within. It is a very original take on witch & witch hunters and was delightfully dark. While I definitely recommend, my biggest critique is that the main three protagonists are in no way 17, it would have felt better as college age or 20-something‘s.⬇️

Nessavamusic This was the only element that pulled me from the story. I received this in a book box & it was the only reason it was on my radar. I recommend anyone who enjoys witchy books to check it out! 4.25⭐️ 5mo

Gotta love the right thigh/hip agony rep in here, though I‘m fairly certain mine isn‘t demonic in nature.

Book 27📚 4.6⭐️

I always love Sutherlands cover art!🖤

What a wild and dark turn of events. A fantastic read for the witchy lovers!🖤

Someone is killing witches and stealing their power. A sister longs to bring her sibling back from the dead and another would rather die than live with the curse carved into her body.

In a world where only women can make deals with demons & wield magic, three young women are drawn into the hunt for a supernatural serial killer.

I really enjoyed this one & I was hooked from the start. It's a perfect mix of horror & fantasy with an undercurrent of social commentary. The first chapter sets the scene as an unnamed character walks home from a party alone - I would say that most women who have walked home alone in the dark (cont)

OutsmartYourShelf in a deserted area would recognise the feeling of being on high alert of your surroundings & the fear that lurks. It's no accident that only women can wield magic (i.e. power) in this book & the (mainly male) witch-hunters want to take it away. It is inclusive of trans women by the way. My only (minor) observation is that I wasn't sold on the Jude/Emer romance but that's only because I felt there was little chemistry between them & out of the 3 10mo
OutsmartYourShelf main characters, I liked Emer the least. Overall though, it was a gripping read & that cover is perfection. 5🌟

TWs: (graphic) body horror, injury detail, blood, murder, death. magic, demons. (mentions) domestic abuse, animal death, misogyny.

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Bonnier Books UK/Hot Key Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

Wowowowow this was everything I want in my ya horror!

Brutal, gruesome, emotional and so riveting. Even correctly predicting the twist didn‘t stop me from enjoying every minute of this.

She has become a must read author for me.
